With the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip finally released, it is no secret that Motorola is working on a new flagship that will house the cutting-edge Qualcomm SoC. Previously, we have seen the Motorola XT2301-5 emerge on China’s 3C listing. This is believed to be the upcoming Moto X40.
A variant of the same device with model number XT2301-4 was recently spotted on the TRDA listing, revealing the Moto Edge 40 Pro. Going by the history of the brand’s naming scheme, it is highly that this is a Moto X40 rebrand. Now, the same device with the XT2301-4 model number has appeared on the FCC certification database revealing some details along the way (via).
The device is revealed to be compatible with both wireless and reverse wireless charging, along with featuring support for 125W wired charging. There is support for 5G, NFC & Bluetooth. One peculiarity with the listing is that it snows the Wi-Fi capabilities of the device limited to Wi-Fi 6E, whereas the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset offers support for Wi-Fi 7. This begs the question if the Edge 40 Pro will indeed feature the new SoC or if Motorola plans to reserve it for an “Ultra” version.
For now, rumors surrounding the device say that it will come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, along with LPDDR5X RAM. There will be a triple camera setup on the rear, consisting of a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide unit, and a 12-megapixel telephoto lens. Lastly, the display of the device is expected to be capable of up to 165Hz refresh rate.
